Cameron Boozer and the Memphis Grizzlies have shown they are a force to be reckoned with in NBA Summer League play, but what they did to Atlanta on Thursday night was exceptional.
Memphis went up 21-0 and outscored Atlanta 32-2 in the first quarter. They went on to win 96-64.
Yes, it’s summer league, but these are all talented players. The Showtime Lakers held the Kings to 4 points in the first quarter in a 1987 game, but other than that, we’ve never heard of such a thing in professional basketball.
For his part, Boozer had an exceptional game, with 24 points, shooting 10-13/1-1. He also had 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and a steal in 29 minutes.
The one part of his game that we think he could improve, offensively anyway, is turnovers, and he had 4 here. Part of that though is because he is willing to take chances, and in winning time, he becomes more conservative.
Former UNC star Henri Veesaar started for the Hawks, and scored 5 points in 20 minutes.
Former Virginia and Louisville guard Isaac McKneely also started, scoring 2 points in 9 minutes.
